Description

For estimating receiver and the method for the large scale characteristic of channel
Technical field
Present disclosure relates to the communication between transmitter and receiver, and in particular to estimation large scale (large-scale) characteristic of channel so that make the communication between transmitter and receiver become possibility.
Background technology
Device-to-device D2D communication is the known of many existing wireless technologys (comprising adhoc network) and widely used part.Example comprises some modification of bluetooth and Institute of Electrical and Electric Engineers IEEE802.11 standard group, and such as WiFi leads directly to.These systems operate in unlicensed frequency spectrum.
Recently, the D2D communication as the bottom (underlay) of cellular network has been suggested as utilizing the proximity of communication equipment and allow equipment to carry out the means operated in controlled interference environment simultaneously.Usually, advise that such D2D communication is such as by being preserved for D2D object to share the frequency spectrum identical with cellular system by some cellular uplink resources.Distributing special frequency spectrum for D2D object is the more impossible substitute mode of one, because frequency spectrum is a kind of scarce resource and between D2D service with cellular service, (dynamically) is shared is more flexibly and provides higher spectrum efficiency.
Want to carry out each other communicating or even just find that equipment each other needs to launch various forms of control signal usually.An example of this control signal is so-called (discovery) beacon signal, and it at least carries the mark of certain form and is launched by the findable equipment of other equipment by wanting to become.Other equipment can scan to find this beacon signal.Once they detect this beacon, they just can take suitable action, such as, attempt initiating the connection establishment with the equipment launching this beacon.For some communication pattern (such as, connectionless communication, is used usually for multicast and broadcasting transmitting), beacon signal can carry scheduling assignment, and scheduling assignment indicates the transfer of data be associated to potential receiver.Normally a kind of one-way communication mode not requiring the connection establishment through confirming of connectionless communication.Other forms of control signal also can be carried by beacon channel.
Also may desirably, for outside the network coverage user equipment (UE) support D2D operation.In such a case, different synchronous selections may be had: UE can be synchronized to universal reference (such as, global position system GPS), and it is generally different from the reference synchronization of institute's on-premise network.It is possible that the mode (at least for discovery, not having reference synchronization) that UE can be finished disparate step operates.Selection be in addition the cluster synchronization of UE to particular UE (hereinafter referred to cluster head CH), this particular UE provides local synchronization to its neighbours UE.Different clusters is uninevitable by synchronously.May further desirably, support the discovery scene of minizone, wherein quarter at and may can find each other by the UE on not synchronous community.
In addition, between different districts (they may be just not synchronous or have large propagation delay), operate D2D may require directly synchronous what participate between the UE in D2D communication.
May not synchronous beacon and perform channel estimating in order to detect, if radio transmission techniques adopts Long Term Evolution LTE, then each beacon is provided with demodulated reference signal DMRS.DMRS in each beacon is mapped to one or more OFDM symbol.Each DMRS is generated from the known array (such as, such sequence derives from Zaduff-Chu sequence) with good autocorrelation performance and their cross correlation.
Even if various selection may be had, but for beacon is mapped to radio frame a kind of may solution be in selected subframe in a frequency domain multiplexing (frequency division multiplexing FDM) from the beacon of different UEs.
Beacon is feature (1 such as, corresponding with 12 subcarriers in LTE Physical Resource Block PRB) usually with narrow bandwidth.Even with the reliable estimation also obtaining timing and the Doppler frequency shift be associated with each beacon in order to the low signal noise ratio SNR required by beacon detection, mean the remarkable DMRS expense in each beacon.Such expense decrease potential be assigned to the resource element of the payload of beacon number and because this increasing beacon-code rate, thus have impact on the covering of beacon.

Embodiment
In brief, provide a kind of receiver and performed the method for the first yardstick characteristic of channel be associated with the first channel of the first transmitter for estimation and the second largest yardstick characteristic of channel be associated with the second channel of the second transmitter by this receiver.The method and this receiver utilize the secondary signal received from the second transmitter, and based on received one of the first signal and secondary signal or in both at least one included reference signal carry out Combined estimator first and second large scale characteristic.
Describe a kind of exemplary embodiment of this method referring now to Fig. 1 a, Fig. 1 a is the flow chart being performed the method for the first yardstick characteristic of channel be associated with the first channel of the first transmitter for estimation and the second largest yardstick characteristic of channel be associated with the second channel of the second transmitter by receiver according to a kind of exemplary embodiment.
Fig. 1 a illustrates the method, the method comprises: receive 110 the first signals launched by the first transmitter and at least receive the secondary signal of being launched by the second transmitter in addition, wherein the first and second transmitters are synchronized to common reference synchronization, and wherein the first signal and/or secondary signal comprise at least one reference signal.The method comprises further: carry out the Combined estimator 120 first and second large scale characteristic of channel based on this at least one reference signal; And the large scale characteristic of channel of Combined estimator association 130 is associated with to the first channel be associated with the first transmitter the second channel be associated with the second transmitter.
Receiver can receive the signal launched from multiple transmitter.Each transmitter is transmitted by corresponding channel.Receiver receives at least two signals, the first signal namely launched by the first transmitter respectively by the first and second channels and the secondary signal by the second transmitter transmitting.First and second transmitters are synchronized to common reference synchronization.Receiver never can be synchronized to the other transmitter Received signal strength of this common reference synchronization, and if like this, these signals can be dropped simply.By common reference synchronization, mean time and/or frequency alignment.This reference synchronization can be provided by such as radio base station, eNodeB, base station controller, radio network controller etc.This reference synchronization can also be provided by such as transmitter, receiver, mobile radio station, subscriber equipment etc.
It should be noted that, receiver can also receive the 3rd signal by the 3rd channel from the 3rd transmitter, receive the 4th signal etc. by the 4th channel from the 4th transmitter, wherein the third and fourth transmitter is synchronized to the reference synchronization identical with the first and second transmitters.But the exemplary embodiment of the method henceforth will only be described with two transmitters explicitly.Further, channel refers to propagation channel (contrast LTE term " physical channel for transfer of data etc. ").
First signal and/or secondary signal comprise at least one reference signal.
The method also comprises: carry out the Combined estimator first and second large scale characteristic of channel based on this at least one reference signal.Several examples of the large scale characteristic of channel are propagation delay and Doppler frequency shift.Because the first and second transmitters are both synchronized to common reference synchronization, so some large scale characteristic of the first channel can be assumed to be the large scale characteristic being similar to second channel.Such as, if the first and second signals both comprise a corresponding reference signal, then by carrying out the Combined estimator first and second large scale characteristic of channel based on these two reference signals, the estimation more accurately of the large scale characteristic of channel for both the first and second channels can be obtained.In another example, if the only signal in signal comprises a reference signal, such as the first signal, then the large scale characteristic of channel of second channel can be estimated as the large scale characteristic of channel the same as or similar to the first channel, because the first and second transmitters are synchronized to common reference synchronization.Certainly, both the first and second signals are each can comprise more than one reference signal, but at least one signal in the first and second signals received comprises at least one reference signal.In another example, even if the first and second signals both comprise a corresponding reference signal, then the large scale characteristic of channel of second channel can be estimated as the large scale characteristic of channel the same as or similar to the first channel, because the first and second transmitters are synchronized to common reference synchronization.By this way, if only adopt the reference signal corresponding with the first transmitter to be used for the channel estimating of some large scale characteristic of channel, then the complexity of channel estimating is reduced.
Generally speaking, channel estimating can be divided into the step estimating some large scale characteristic of channel, is the step estimating actual channel in time domain or frequency domain or other territories subsequently.The large scale characteristic of channel can be utilized, such as, for optimizing to estimate the estimated parameter that actual channel uses.With the estimation of actual channel, if herein it is intended that such as perform estimation in the time domain, be then the estimation to time domain channel taps (tap), if or perform estimation in a frequency domain, be then the estimation to frequency response.
The method comprises further: the large scale characteristic of channel of Combined estimator is associated with the first channel be associated with the first transmitter, and is associated with the second channel be associated with the second transmitter.
By this way, likely such as minimize the number of the reference signal of each signal, make receiver can pass through also to consider the reference signal of other signals received/another signal received because carry out the Combined estimator first and second large scale characteristic of channel based on this at least one reference signal, estimate the large scale characteristic of channel for such as the first channel, all these signals received all sent by the individual transmitter being synchronized to common reference synchronization.In fact, being intended to exceed the hypothesis large scale characteristic of channel in reference signal is known make it possible to estimate the large scale characteristic of channel to the estimation of actual channel, and reference signal may have additional designing requirement.This additional designing requirement may cause expense and the power consumption of increase.
The method has some advantages.A kind of advantage is, receiver by also considering the reference signal of other (multiple) signals received except the first received signal, can improve the estimation of the large scale characteristic of channel joined with the first received signal correction.Another advantage is, transmitter can not need in order to as many reference signal can be incorporated in the signal that is launched the channel be launched by it estimates the large scale characteristic of channel at signal by receiver rightly.
According to a kind of embodiment illustrated in Fig. 1 b, the method comprises further: based on the large scale characteristic of channel of the Combined estimator be associated, by receiver synchronous with the first transmitter 150.
Once the large scale characteristic of channel of Combined estimator has been associated with the first channel of being associated with the first transmitter and has been associated with the second channel be associated with the second transmitter by receiver, receiver just based on the Combined estimator be associated the large scale characteristic of channel by it oneself synchronous with the first transmitter.By this way, receiver can be communicated with the first transmitter, and receiver can correctly receive the signal launched by transmitter, because receiver such as Doppler frequency shift and/or average retardation that it is now know that is associated by the channel that it carries out communicating with transmitter and receiver.
The method may further include, illustrated in Fig. 1 c, the large scale characteristic of channel based on the Combined estimator be associated determines 140 reference synchronizations.
By this way, receiver it is now know that the reference synchronization identical with common reference synchronization.
According to a kind of embodiment, the first and second large scale characteristics of channel comprise following one or more: such as, postpone expansion, doppler spread, Doppler frequency shift, average gain, average retardation and other large scale characteristics of channel.
First and second channels depend on the path between corresponding transmitter and receiver.If the first and second transmitters are positioned in two individual positions, then corresponding respective paths between transmitter from receiver can be different.First, the distance between the first transmitter and receiver can be different from the distance between the second transmitter and receiver.Secondly, compared in the path between the second transmitter and receiver, may there is different barriers and/or environment from the path between receiver in the first transmitter.In addition, the first and second transmitters may have different reference timings and/or frequency reference.All of these factors taken together, and there is no the more multifactor of description, may differently affect the first and second channels.Therefore, compared to the secondary signal of launching from the second transmitter to receiver, the first signal launched from the first transmitter to receiver may suffer different doppler spreads, Doppler frequency shift, average gain and/or average retardation, if especially two corresponding paths are very different.All these different factors are examples of the large scale characteristic of channel.If the distance between the first transmitter and receiver and the distance between the second transmitter and receiver are similar; And/or first the path between transmitter and receiver and the path between the second transmitter and receiver be similar; And if the first transmitter and the second transmitter are synchronized to the identical reference synchronization in time and/or frequency, then the large scale characteristic of the first channel can be similar to the large scale characteristic of second channel.
According to another embodiment, receiver synchronous with the first transmitter 150 is comprised: timing and/or the Frequency Synchronization of estimating the first signal.
When receiver is based on this at least one reference signal Combined estimator during the first and second large scale characteristics of channel, receiver can estimate the timing between its oneself and first transmitter and/or the difference in frequency.Once receiver have estimated the difference in timing and/or frequency, just make receiver can by it oneself synchronous with the first transmitter, namely it regularly can to align its transmitting and/or receiving parameter according to reference.
According to an embodiment again, the joint channel estimation of the described first and second large scale characteristics of channel is utilized to perform demodulation to the data that the first and/or second transmitter is launched.
When receiver receives from the first and/or second transmitter the signal comprising data subsequently, the signal that receiver needs demodulation to receive.First and second transmitters perform the modulation of certain kind when transmitting.Therefore receiver utilizes the first and second large scale characteristics of channel of Combined estimator, so that the data that demodulation is launched by the first and/or second transmitter.At least one reference signal that at least one signal in the first and second signals received used in order to the Combined estimator large scale characteristic of channel comprises, can be used to the signal comprising data that demodulation receives subsequently.The indicative icon of this embodiment is illustrated in Fig. 2 e.
According to a kind of embodiment, the method comprises further: based on pre-configured, based on the signaling received from network or transmitter or based on the analysis to received first and at least secondary signal, determine that some the large scale characteristic joined with some signal correction is identical.
Receiver can be preconfigured the information belonging to different channels, and such as, some the large scale characteristic joined with some signal correction is identical.By this way, the estimation of the large scale characteristic of channel of such as the first channel can be performed more accurately.Alternatively, or additionally, the network that receiver can be connected to from receiver or from such as comprise the information belonging to different channels first or second transmitter receive signaling, such as, some the large scale characteristic joined with some signal correction is identical.Further, receiver can be analyzed or anticipate received signal in advance and analyze in advance based on this or analyze in advance and obtain the information belonging to different channels, and such as, some the large scale characteristic joined with some signal correction is identical.
The method can be adopted by the receiver that can receive the signal launched by means of different lift-off technology.Such as, receiver can receive the signal launched by means of orthogonal frequency division multiplex OFDM, time division multiplexing tdm and/or code division multiplexing CDM.
Transmitter and receiver can be both the user equipment (UE) of a type, user equipment (UE) so can be following any one: such as, mobile phone, mobile radio station, laptop computer, personal digital assistant or any other equipment of communicating or terminal can be carried out by means of radio and another equipment or terminal.
Hereafter followed the example that Receiver And Transmitter is the UE be operable in wireless communication system, wireless communication system comprises the radio base station (RBS) or eNodeB (eNB) with the territory, respective coverage areas being also referred to as community.In example hereafter, also reference is made to cluster.Cluster comprises the UE of shared common reference synchronization.Therefore, all UE quartering at same cells (that is, being connected to identical eNB or RBS) or belong to same cluster share common reference synchronization.Common reference synchronization can be provided by eNB or RBS, or is provided by the UE serving as reference synchronization in cluster.The UE serving as reference synchronization in cluster is also referred to as cluster head CH.In addition in example hereafter, lift-off technology is FDM, and wherein wireless communication system can be Long Term Evolution LTE communication system.Or see Fig. 2 a.
Typical propagation in each community or cluster postpones to be the magnitude of microsecond, and owing to Doppler frequency shift and synchronous error combination caused by Typical frequency error (compared to eNB or UE carrier frequency) be the centesimal magnitude of the part of every 1,000,000 of carrier frequency, i.e. hundreds of Hz.In order to realize satisfied performance, UE needs in considerably less microsecond, (if that is, UE is operable in LTE communication system, to be then less than circulating prefix-length) and the hundreds of Hz of reference synchronization apart from them carries out synchronously.
But, different reference synchronization may any simultaneous bias of (different UEs of wherein serving as CH can be different with thousands of Hz on a carrier frequency) in (such as, dispose for not synchronous FDD and for different clusters) and/or frequency in elapsed-time standards.In order to the UE quartered on different districts or cluster be detected, the UE carrying out receiving needs to estimate and solves the potential timing/frequency shift (FS) greatly joined with these signal corrections.This estimation can based on the demodulated reference signal DMRS for this signal.
Here observe, the simultaneous bias be associated with the UE quartered on given community or cluster with two compositions for feature.(1) large timing and/or frequency shift (FS), owing to any reference synchronization supposed by eNB or CH.This large skew is common to all UE quartered on same cells/cluster.Typical skew is the magnitude of millisecond (time) or kHz (frequency).(2) little timing and/or frequency shift (FS), owing to the specific propagation delay of UE and mobility and owing to synchronous error.This skew is that UE is specific.Typical skew is the magnitude of microsecond (time) or hundreds of Hz (frequency).
When talking about timing estimation, the reference bandwith (such as, 1 Physical Resource Block PRB) of signal is enough for obtaining the resolution of some microseconds with moderate signal noise ratio SNR value.But the accidental decline owing to such as channel is prominent falls into (fadingdip) and accidental interference burst, and receiver may can not estimate timing by accident in desired accuracy.
Also can be derived for Frequency Estimation the similar consideration of timing estimation.Usually by estimating that the phase rotating of the channel between two or more DMRS of launching in different OFDM symbol obtains frequency shift (FS).As General Principle, close DMRS allows wide estimation range, and width allows the resolution of improvement for given SNR value from the DMRS separated.As a kind of example, provided by +/-1 (2dT) by the estimation range of the phase compare to two continuous DMRS, wherein dT is the time interval between DMRS.In order to estimate the frequency shift (FS) in the scope (this is necessary for device-to-device D2D operation) of about +/-7kHz, DMRS needs two the continuous OFDM symbol being mapped to interval ~ 72us.
Therefore, spaced apart for DMRS itself (byitself) is not used to the applicable solution improving signal frequency estimation.
Timing estimation and the performance both Frequency Estimation can be improved by the number increasing the DMRS of every signal, and this is covered as cost with the payload of expense and reduction and signal.
Another example how improving the estimation of the large scale parameter (wherein propagation delay and Doppler frequency shift are two examples of this parameter) for these signals makes UE launch reliable special synchronous signal, such as with DMRS differently, this special synchronous signal is not directly associated with transfer of data.This synchronizing signal can have the bandwidth sum cycle different with corresponding data field from DMRS, and so can be more suitable for for synchronous object.Each UE can launch the synchronizing signal of its individuality, has specific burst and mark, or multiple UE (such as, sharing all UE of identical reference synchronization) can launch identical synchronizing signal by the radio resource shared.In the later case, multiple identical synchronizing signal is launched with overlap mode by the predefine set of radio resource.Suppose that the relevance between synchronizing signal and other signals known by receiver, then some large scale characteristic of channel (such as, propagation delay and Doppler frequency shift) can be assumed to be between these synchronizing signals and the radio channel of these other signal correction connection be accurate location (QuasiCo-Located) altogether, QCL.In this case, receiver can estimate such large scale characteristic of channel (that is, time of implementation and/or Frequency Synchronization) from these synchronizing signals, and by such synchronous applications to these other signals.DMRS alternatively from these signals estimates by the actual channel joined with these other signal corrections, because such characteristic will not be QCL with other reference signals of such as synchronizing signal.Owing to the reliable synchronization based on special synchronous signal, this QCL supposes the channel estimating alleviated based on signal DMRS and the expense that may allow in signal reduces.
Antenna port QCL is that a kind of first working in coordination with at down link DL in the context of multiple spot CoMP issues at the 3rd generation partner program 3GPPLTE the framework introduced in-11.In DLCoMP, the unlike signal being target with given UE can be launched from the antenna (antenna port) be spatially separated network with channel, and is therefore associated with different propagation radio channels.It should be noted that the imperfection of transmitter is included in equivalent channel.The geography of reference signal RS port is separated and means that the transient channel coefficient from each port towards UE is generally different.In addition, even may be different significantly for the statistical property (being sometimes equivalently called " long-term channel characteristics " or " the large scale characteristic of channel ") of the channel of different port and RS type.The example of this statistical property comprise for each port received power, postpone expansion, doppler spread, reception regularly (that is, the timing of first effective (significant) channel tap), the number of efficient channel tap, frequency displacement.In LTE, based on the characteristic of the channel of another antenna port, nothing can by the characteristic supposing to have about the channel corresponding with antenna port.This is in fact the key component maintaining the transmission transparency.
Some antenna port can be associated with identical (that is, similar substantially) large scale characteristic of channel.In this case, it is said that given antenna port is accurate location altogether about some large scale characteristic of channel.Generally speaking, for often pair of RS port and in the given time, two conditions can be possible below.(1) port A and B can be assumed to be about large scale characteristic X by (UE) is QCL.(2) port A and B should be assumed to be about large scale characteristic X by (UE) is QCL.
Method disclosed above allow for the synchronous of the signal of improvement for the DMRS expense of given every signal.A kind of hypothesis is that multiple signal is often launched in same cells or cluster by multiple UE.These concurrent transmittings may occur in (as in the FDM situation being considered baseline in this description) and employing TDM or CDM mode in identical subframe, and do not affect the applicability of the receiver of the method or execution the method.
QCL hypothesis as described herein easily can expand to any signal and/or channel launched by UE, comprise such as immediate data channel and discovery channel, find that channel is launched by UE in order to D2D object and is associated with the reference synchronization identical with these signals and/or synchronizing signal.
Receiver (or carry out receive UE) estimates timing and/or Frequency Synchronization based on the DMRS received joined with multiple signal correction for Setting signal.The signal of united process can be selected based on following information: these signals are associated with the UE that quarters on same cells or cluster and therefore have common reference synchronization.In addition, the one or more synchronous reference signals can launched by the one or more UE sharing identical reference synchronization can be utilized in Combined estimator.Algorithm for estimating jointly processes the corresponding signal of the DMRS that launches in corresponding multiple signals to multiple UE.Viewed, receiver is not inevitable a priori know launched signal and be present in practically in the resource that uses to estimate.It is possible that when be intended to signal is not launched, some DMRS signals may only comprise noise or interference.Estimated reference synchronization or the large scale characteristic of channel can be utilized as the input parameter of the channel estimation method for these signals.
Example above allows receiver to utilize multiple DMRS for estimating that all signals (in certain scope or accuracy) launched the UE in community/cluster are common parameters.Can by utilize based on the DMRS joined with each signal correction estimation, carry out refinement (refine) Combined estimator based on multiple signal, to obtain the fine estimation to the large scale characteristic of channel.
A kind of practicality example occurs together with mapping with the FDM of signal.In this case, receiver knows that some signals are multiplexed in identical subframe with high probability, and can realize at least rough time and/or Frequency Synchronization for the multiple beacon resource joints in identical subframe, therefore utilizes multiple DMRS.
